They installed an electric dog containment fence thinking their dog would be safe. It worked great for a while until some bully neighborhood dogs entered the yard and attacked their dog and nearly killed him. So even if an electric fence keeps your own dog contained, it won't keep other dogs (or wild animals) out of your yard.<br /><br />On a HAPPY note....we received our Swiss Alps calendar today and it's beautiful. We already have it hanging up. I plan to post about it and show some pictures soon.

Our back yard is traditionally fenced (plus a deer fence to keep the deer out), and we only go only leashes in the front yard. I'm not a big fan of them anyway, for many of the reasons Emma noted above.<br /><br />--Wags (and purrs) from <a href="http://www.lifewithdogsandcats.com" rel="nofollow">Life with Dogs and Cats</a>.<br /><br />Life with Dogs and Catshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15968596185347365817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4292536297693153512.post-54290664432586108862015-01-05T03:26:41.171-08:002015-01-05T03:26:41.171-08:00We aren't fans of these.

It's also scary when out walking as dogs race up to the edge acting like they will kill you and you never really know if they will stay in or not and sometimes owners don't put on the zapper collar anymore and they just run out after us. Everyone has to make their own decision, but we don't like these.My GBGV Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00281486885814998377noreply@blogger.com
